Where is God leading me today?

There’s a difference between being led and being guided.

When I picture being led, I see God out in front — the path already cleared, the wind at my back, and my job simply to follow. But guidance can look different. Sometimes it feels like He’s giving me space to walk ahead, to make choices, to move freely — knowing He’ll nudge me if I drift too far off course.

Some days it’s a gentle push. Other days, it’s a lesson I don’t want but clearly need. Positive reinforcement or discipline — both are guidance when they come from Him.

Before I can know where God is leading me, I have to understand how He guides me.

Like you, I woke up today. Worked through my early rituals. Made my way to the regular 8-to-5. And somewhere in between, I wondered — did I miss something? Did I miss an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus? Did someone reach out, and I didn’t reach back? Was there a nudge I brushed off as a nuisance instead of a whisper from God?

Maybe it wasn’t any of those. Maybe today wasn’t about doing — maybe it was about listening. Resting. Preparing.

Today, I’m just walking with Him and waiting for the nudge. Days like this, I feel guided to look forward and backward at the same time — imagining what’s ahead while remembering what He’s already brought me through.

Something from Sunday’s message stuck with me:

“Look at where you are because of what you’ve already made it through.”

Whatever waits around the corner — good or bad — will be navigated like everything else before. I’ve been in messes before. I’ve been without before. I don’t know that I always walked in faith before… but I’m learning to now.

And that, I believe, is where God is leading me today — into a kind of faith that remembers. A faith that looks back and says, It was tough before. The walls closed in before. But God got me through.

So now, when things tighten again, my question isn’t “Why?” anymore. It’s “Where do You want me?”

Where are you feeling guided today? What path seems lighter when you turn toward it?
